CAS Peonies -Thinking Of You

 

This card is a celebration of my first go with my new Altenew Stampwheel. It was a BD gift from my DH. I was a little dubious at first. I used what appeared to me to be an "easy to use" Altenew layering stamp set, and it turned out pretty well. I am usually pretty frustrated by layering stamps in terms of getting them lined up correctly. Lots of swearing usually involved. Sometimes tears. I watched Simon Hurley's review and demo, then I used to amazingly talented Michele Ferguson's tutorial with success. I will be posting another card soon with the results. I did let out a few "YAY's in the process. I am now ready to persevere.

Thinking of You

Oh happy day! I finally got to sit down and create something today.  I always think that summer is going to afford me so much time for creating, but it never works out that way. I have been joyously running around doing fun things and soaking up a lot of beach time with my boys, so I can't complain.  Today was a rest and recharge day, so I went right to my happy place.  I also figured out why I was not getting sharp photos and fixed it with a minor adjustment, so I am a happy camper.

This is my take on the Dynamic Duos challenge this week.  I had to switch out Lucky Limeade for  PTI's New Leaf.  Really enjoyed this color scheme.  Thanks so much for stopping in today.  I hope  I am "back in the saddle" as the saying goes...
